Happy Brain

You asked and you wanted more of the conversation with Al Lyman. In his sixties and in the best shape of his life, he shares more wisdom on how to get healthy at any age.

Al shares that we have more control over our health outcomes than we may believe. Genetics load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger. With motivation and the right knowledge applied daily, we can transform our vitality at nearly any age. It simply requires the courage to change old patterns.

About our Guest

When Al Lyman was 25, he made a conscious decision to "die healthy." The phrase he used at the time was to "square the curve." Every day since then, he's made it his goal to learn how to create good health and vitality and then share what he's learned with others so they too might benefit. That journey led to him writing a book at age 62 titled Age Well and Feel Great: The Proven Path to Solving the Aging Puzzle.

Along his lifelong quest for good health and fitness and vitality, he's finished dozens of marathons including having a 2:39 Boston Marathon personal best, 9 ironman triathlons including 3 finishes at the Ironman Triathlon World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, numerous sports therapy and strength and conditioning certifications, as well as having owned and operated a gait analysis lab in partnership with a sports physician.

From overcoming being bullied and a near-fatal drowning at 10 years old, to overcoming PTSD and learning to swim at 36 years old, to transitioning from a career in music to being a business owner, to becoming an author, Al has learned firsthand the importance of failing forward, being a life-long learner, and never giving up. Above it all, every step of his journey has been focused on becoming truly healthy and aging well, so he could extend not only his lifespan, but more importantly, his healthspan. His ultimate goal is to be able to do what he enjoys with those who matter the most, right up until his last day. As his book attests, Al has always been passionate about sharing all that he’s learned with others.

Have you ever heard these myths about shame and emotional experiences? Myth #1: Feeling shame means I am weak or broken. Myth #2: I should avoid feeling negative emotions at all costs. Myth #3: Only certain emotions are acceptable to express. In this episode, our guest Allison Guilbault will debunk these myths and shed light on the truth about overcoming shame and embracing diverse emotions.

My special guest is Allison Guilbault

Allison Guilbault, a seasoned therapist known for her distinct approach to mental health, borne out of her varied and extraordinary professional journey that started with a childhood interest in forensics. She initially worked in sexual assault and domestic violence counseling, then transitioned into working with offenders inside the walls of Rikers Islands. Now, Allison focuses on the intersection of trauma, anxiety, and sex and intimacy issues in her private practice, offering unique and empathetic insights into the role of shame in our emotional experiences.

Feelings, thoughts, and urges don't necessarily manifest into behavior. Acknowledging our thoughts and owning them allows us to find relief in problem solving. - Allison Guilbault

If you're looking for alternative methods to deal with anxiety, depression or stress in general, take a listen to our episode today on Light Language Healing! And you get a chance to join me in doing a short exercise that hopefully is going to make your brain happier.  I set an intention for something specific and you can do the same!        

Light language healing is about transforming the heaviness and enlightening the light within oneself. - Birgitta Visser

The key moments in this episode are: 00:02:07 - Balancing Corporate and Spiritual Worlds, 00:05:00 - Introduction to Light Language Healing, 00:08:00 - Light Language Healing Demonstration, 00:11:58 - Processing Light Language Healing, 

About our Guest

Birgitta Visser is the author of the book, BE-com-ing Authentically Me, a Soul Empowerment Coach, Light Language Healer and being Dutch, a bit of a bike messenger between the here and there delivering messages from the many Master Teachers integral to helping elevate the consciousness of humanity and the planet. She has often stumbled through the darkness of her own trauma, often walking through her own blistered hell, yet she soldiered on and to heal the demons that had taken up residence in the comfort of her own mind, she decided to take the holistic route, facing her many layers of pain head on. Birgitta hopes that people will awaken to what life is all about, unlocking their own potential and BE-com-ing authentically themselves.

She says, "The Universe is mental in nature, you are mental in nature, all that you create comes from the mental imagery of the mind, and thus one is the Alchemist of one’s own Creation.  Think what you wish to wish what you think and it shall be so.  We have been given the breath of life, don't squander it living merely on the surface of who you believe yourself to be, remaining within your own trauma, but deep dive into the hues of the beautiful soul that you are, letting go of all that weighs you down, resurfacing and returning to a love for ourselves and a joie de vivre for life."

Have you ever felt like your intuition sets you apart in the corporate world? 

Meet Dana Shamas, a former investment banker who defied norms and embraced her unconventional thinking. Her journey takes an unexpected twist as she delves into the spiritual realm, combining it with her analytical background. Now, she's on a mission to help YOU tap into YOUR intuitive skills and unlock YOUR true potential. Get ready for a story that will leave you wondering: how can harnessing intuition be the key to our ultimate success?

In this episode, you will be able to:

My special guest is Dana Shamas

We warmly welcome Dana Shamas, a beacon in the world of intuitive work and business strategy. With her roots firmly planted in the corporate world, having served at Goldman Sachs, Dana has navigated her path towards helping others tap into their own intuition to realize their full potential. Now, she employs her incredible energy and experience to empower individuals within the corporate environment to listen more to their inner voice and use it as a tool for improved performance and overall success.

From Dana ShamasI help leaders, healers, and changemakers discover their unique circuitry so they can hear their authentic voice and lead with intuition.

For the longest time, I used to think that my intuitive gifts made me…well…a little bit of an oddball.

It seemed like anytime I met someone—even a total stranger—I’d hear the words “wow…I’ve never told anyone that before!” For a while, I even thought that guiding people back home to themselves was my superpower.

But growing up, I learned I was too sensitive, too emotional, and I was better off trying to “fit in” so I could make it in the real world. It wasn’t safe for me to feel the feels and say what I felt to be true.

Eventually, I realized that my purpose in life wasn’t to lean into what the rest of the world was doing. My purpose was to help other people tap into their highest selves, so they can create a deeper connection to their true worth and identity, as well as their dreams and goals, so they can impact the world.

I work with C-Suite executives, new people and team managers, non-profit and social impact leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, and many other working professionals.
